the little wild kingdom

too cold to mark things today. tomorrow might be better.

this morning we had a visit from a pheasant and it was nice to see them here again. they wander through once every few years. more often we just hear them out and around as they are off in the farm fields or in the back field. i don't have a very good telephoto lens so i didn't really get any pictures worth posting.

Absolutely gorgeous!

so much of what is in that picture needs to be removed or thinned out that all i see is a lot more work. ok, no, it's not that bad to me, it looks pretty good to me too considering what it has been through and how much time i've spent on it this spring (about 3hrs so far). it needs some weeding and marking those bunches i have to move and ...

i was looking at it this morning and wishing i had a nicer day without rain to get out there.

so far so good. it will come along quickly once i can get back to it later this week. just a few hours of weeding and i can get most of the clear areas taken care of. it's all the nitpicky weeding along the edges that takes more time, but it is pleasant time if it is warm enough. just grab my ground pillows and sit there and go over it all a few hours at a time.

here is larger sized picture. i normally only post thumbnails here because they can take time to load up for people on slower connections:

@digitS' finally got a picture of this birdie. i see it is a bit too dark so i'll lighten it up eventually. Looks like a Tufted Titmouse to me.

finally some rains last night and this morning. it gives me a good excuse to stay in and get some of my mess cleaned up here in my room.
